Ex MP Eric Joyce has said its the last time we vote in a UK election,please let that be the case ,even although he is not the most sensible.
Some great stuff on SNP sites.Glasses of whisky each with a high profile unionist name on it,to be downed when they go down.Dead

Despite the SNP getting possibly 58 out of 59 seats in Scotland on what grounds do you think it could be the last Uk election. As an outsider I can't see how you think you will get another referendum - you had a chance and flunked it up, majorly.
Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get me...

George Galloway reported to the police for breaking Election laws.

He's demanded a 2nd re-count and gone further against the laws. He is absolutely fuming about it LOL

I've nothing to go on on that other than my intuition. 

I think this poll will have been more difficult to get accurate than previous ones due to huge geographical discrepancies and more tactical voting than ever before.

Still points to a Tory government and Miliband being gone.

What's looking clear is that Labour have not done enough in marginal seats. 

Think we're getting ahead of ourselves on this one, the outlook is pretty grim so far but there's alot of seats Labour can steal from the Tory party.

The downside is the Tory party are nearly wiping out the Lib Dems.
North Swindon was just announced there. Going by the exit poll there should have been a 1% swing to Labour. There was a 4.3% swing to the Tories.

Same fella saying Jim Murphy "in deep trouble" in Paisley. The SNP challenger is only 20.

Might be Douglas  Alexander,Murphy is not in Paisley. The SNP candidate in Paisley is 20 and has worked her backside off for that seat.
Ah apologies I'm getting my wires crossed. It's definitely Jim Murphy Alan Roden is talking about. 

That's right Mhairi Black is taking on Douglas Alexander in Paisley. Seen on twitter that there was a 75.5% turn out there.

No apology necessary. If I tried to debate Irish politics on here I'd be lost. And aye its looking like Murphy might be out, good,could never understand these Irish unionists.Wink

Looks like Sadiq Khan will keep hold of his seat in my constituency of Tooting but it's supposed to be very tight. An announcement is due around 2am.
